The ex ‘housewife’ hit the net yesterday to thank friends, fans and supporters by posting the photo above with the follwing caption, stating:

Thank you all so much for your support of The Nene Leakes Collection at #HSN. I exceeded my goal yesterday and SOLD OUT of several items! It really feels good to be uplifted and supported! Thank you hsn and Tiger J for allowing my vision and helping me to expand.

[Sidebar: Wow! It’s been a year for ‘The Nene Leaeks Collection’ already??? And to think, SheBySheree will be forever be known for the fashion show with no fashions! (how dreadful!) But I digress. ]

Leakes also dropped a bit of tea about a new collection she’s planning and this time, she’s venturing into FURNITURE!

Welp… another day, another example of the power of social media! I can’t begin to tell you how many times I’ve been tagged online about this recent incident involving Beyoncè dress designer Michael Costello!

There’s a young woman online claiming that the “Project Runway” designer, who has designed gowns worn by Beyoncé, Tamar Braxton & more has used several racial slurs online and off.

Last October, online boutique owner Maxine James blasted Costello in an instagram post, stating that he’d purchased one of her custom designs then shared it with his followers as if it were his own creation.

[Sidebar: This seems to be a pretty common practice nowadays. CLICK HERE to read about K. Whasserface, who just got blasted for the same thing! But I digress]

Costello allegedly took the matter offline recently when he confronted the up & coming designer in person, referring to her in a derogatory manner yet again. James claims that when she tried to tape the incident, Costello broke her phone! Now, James has posted a long diatribe that includes video of a witness who claims to have seen it all go down between James & Costello in his LA fabric store:

Today Michael Costello approached me at a local fabric store while I was sitting waiting on my fabric, walked up to me attacked me with all sorts of insults, Called me a “Nigger” to my face… Physically Snatched my phone out of my hand and threw it out the window leaving my phone shattered to pieces.

The veteran ‘housewife’ shared several photos of her hot new ‘doo and she seemed to be really feeling her longer locks, which coincidentally resembles her friend Kim Zolciak-Biermann’s signature style.

Despite rocking a horrid ‘matchy matchy’ DVF/Tom Ford ensemble a few days prior (click HERE if you missed that), Hampton played host to ‘The Art of Style’ in Atlanta last weekend where she shared her knowledge of labels with a select audience.

[Sidebar: Major props to Mugshot Mario for turning her ‘unemployed’ status to ‘self-employed.’ It’ll be interesting to see if she can actually ‘style’ others or merely point out the labels… but I digress.]

Hampton’s BFF/hairstylist Miss Lawrence (Fashion Queens) also came through to show support.
